Defaulting of Sign Off Requirement for discrepancies:
4 The Mechanic / Inspector check boxes for new discrepancy upon save will be defaulted depending on the values set for the two process parameters "Allow Identification of Sign Off Requirement without Corrective Action for Discrepancies?" and “Default Sign Off Requirements for Non-Routines?” under the entity type Package Type and the entity “All User-Defined Package Types including Log Card” in the Define Process Entities activity in Common Master as illustrated in the next table. However, manually specified sign off requirement for the discrepancy by the user in the “Sign-Off Requirements” section will override the default sign off requirement as arrived by the system based on the above-explained process parameters.
Process Parameter: "Allow Identification of Sign Off Requirement without Corrective Action for Discrepancies?" |
Process Parameter: "Default Sign Off Requirements for Non-Routines?" |
Sign Off Requirements section fir new discrepancy will be defaulted as |
Allowed |
"0" for "Not Required" "1" for "Mechanic" "2" for "Inspector" "3" for "Mech & Insp." |
Mechanic and Inspector check boxes will remain deselected |
|
|
